Camilo was killed



Camilo Catrillanca was a mapuche leader who was killed by Carabineros de Chile in 23 November 2018. His death has significantly marked a major milestone in the Chile/Mapuche conflict, because until today there isn't any information of his murderers. 

The next Thursday after Catrillanca's homicide, there were protests in multiple cities, like Temuco, Santiago, Valparaíso and others, against the severe negligence of the Government, and the answer of it was repression, at the same level at the one that existed in military dictatorship. 

Things like this can't be happening in our days. The assassination of an innocent man, the police repression against mapuche people, children, and protesters are thing that aren't possible in a democracy

People point the responsibility of this events at the Araucania's mayor; Luis Mayol, General Director of Carabineros; Hermes Soto and Interior Minister; Andrés Chadwick. The first one has already renounced, so, it's a matter of time that the other ones do it too. They must do it. 

Also we need the recognition of the Mapuche nation, so maybe they can forgive all the harm we did to them. To give back their lands is also important for reconciliation

The entire country is also involved in this. His murder has polarized the opinions of the citizens; the ones who believe that Camilo Catrillanca was a thief, and the others who think he was a hero.

  1. Unfortunately, I think it's impossible to make Chadwick renounce: surely he has more power than Piñera.

  2. As Amanda, I also think Chadwick has a lot of power so it won't be easy to make him renounce and even if it happens, he would still be involved in all important government decisions
